Half-Life Hints
How do I destroy the Osprey once and for all?
1 of 6: The Osprey will circle and circle ad infinitum, dropping soldiers, until you destroy it once and for all.
2 of 6: The rocket launcher works well on helicopters, as you may have seen with the Apache.
3 of 6: Wait until the Osprey hovers over the helipad to drop off some soldiers. Fire one or two rockets and then take out the soldiers.
4 of 6: It takes several rockets to destroy the Osprey, so be patient and save after every successful hit or two.
5 of 6: If you killed all three soldiers in the adjacent rubble room, you could retreat to it and fire rockets at the Osprey from there safely. It's easiest to do this from up on the roof.
6 of 6: Also, you might want to run across the landing field and cause two alien grunts to break through a door (and then run back to safety) before you destroy the Osprey.
